<p>
      GIO comes with a <code class="filename">gio-2.0.pc</code> file that you
      should use together with <code class="literal">pkg-config</code> to obtain
      the necessary information about header files and libraries. See
      the <code class="literal">pkg-config</code> man page or the GLib documentation
      for more information on how to use <code class="literal">pkg-config</code>
      to compile your application.
    </p>
<p>
      If you are using GIO on UNIX-like systems, you may want to use
      UNIX-specific GIO interfaces such as <a class="link" href="GUnixInputStream.html" title="GUnixInputStream"><span class="type">GUnixInputStream</span></a>,
      <a class="link" href="GUnixOutputStream.html" title="GUnixOutputStream"><span class="type">GUnixOutputStream</span></a>, <span class="type">GUnixMount</span> or <a class="link" href="gio-Desktop-file-based-GAppInfo.html#GDesktopAppInfo"><span class="type">GDesktopAppInfo</span></a>.
      To do so, use the <code class="filename">gio-unix-2.0.pc</code> file
      instead of <code class="filename">gio-2.0.pc</code>
    </p>
